The Australian Taxation Office is the Government’s principal
revenue collection agency, and is part of the Treasurer’s
portfolio. Our role is to manage and shape tax, excise and superannuation
systems that fund services for Australians.

We contribute to Australia’s economic reputation
and wellbeing by ensuring that Australia’s financial markets
are fair and transparent, supported by confident and informed
investors and consumers.

We are an independent Commonwealth Government
body. We are set up under and administer the Australian Securities
and Investments Commission Act (ASIC Act), and we carry out most
of our work under the Corporations Act.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission
Act 2001 requires us to:

maintain, facilitate and improve the performance of the
financial system and entities in it

promote confident and informed participation by investors
and consumers in the financial system

administer the law effectively and with minimal procedural
requirements

enforce and give effect to the law

receive, process and store, efficiently and quickly, information
that is given to us

make information about companies and other bodies available
to the public as soon as practicable.

The National Tax and Accountants' Association ("NTAA")
is the peak representative body for tax issues affecting small
to medium size businesses and individuals. The NTAA has no political
alliance and this allows us to remain extremely objective on all
tax related issues.

We are often called upon to address issues of
inequity within the tax system and these issues are often raised
via the media. We have found the most effective way to generate
support for inequities and problems with the tax system is via
issuing practical and easy to read press releases.
